@ -15,14 +15,5 @@ We have archived the following DEC PDP-11 Tapes:
along with a copy of the [DEC PDP-11 Bootstrap Loader](/apps/pdp11/boot/bootstrap/), which is required if you actually want
to load any of the above tapes into memory using the [PC11 High-Speed Paper Tape Reader/Punch](/devices/pdp11/pc11/).
To make it easy for PDPjs machines to load these tapes, we created the following High-Speed
Paper Tape Reader (PC11) configurations:
- [demo.xml](/devices/pdp11/pc11/demo.xml)
which is typically instantiated by a Machine XML file using:
<device ref="/devices/pdp11/pc11/demo.xml"/>
These configuration files create UI controls that allow you to choose from a set of tapes that are automatically sent
to the machine's PC11 device.
For the most part, the tapes we have archived are in the DEC Absolute Loader format. More information about that format
is on the [Absolute Loader](absloader/) page.
